If I understood correctly, both suggestions involve controling the displaying of the login form from within the main form. Is there a way to accomplish the same thing (displaying both forms) from a 'static void Main() ' method from a third class- the class that I'll use to start the application.
Thank you in advance

The reason we are suggesting this is because it is the way that .net forms are implemented. The typical windows approach for this type of UI is to use a modal dialog which prevents the parent form from accepting input while the modal dialog is active.
If you don't care about disabling the main form you can just call Show() on the login form and ShowDialog on the main form, then both forms will be active. However, you need to setup some way for both forms to share state information and keep thier UIs synchronized.

The thing is that Application.Run blocks until your form is closed, so you can't do anything from your Main while your form is displayed. You either have to display the login form and act on it before displaying your main form, or display your login form from within your main form.

I think it should be possible to handle the Activated event from somewhere instead of overriding OnActivated in the form itself. The code within the handler should be the same as now.

Hi, guys, I am now developing a drawing program in C#. Everytime when adding new lines, ellipse or other shapes, I have to use "this.Invalidate(); this.Update();" to refresh the drawing area then new
shapes will appear. However, it has to paint all the shapes I drew before, or the shapes I drew before may be erased!
But everytime redrawing every shape causes terribly flicking! How to avoid this? Can it only draw newly-drawn shape?
ps: I use ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer and ControlStyles.UserPaint. The effect is not obvious.
Many thanks!

You need to look into double buffering. You can actually set up C# to do this for you, just google double buffer C# and you're sure to find plenty of info.

Don't know where the value was taken of this line...
public const int OF_SHARE_DENY_WRITE = 32;
This is regarding the avifil32.dll... Where did the programmer get the value "32"? Where can you get a reference of this kinds of values that would be passed into parameters... Thanks for the help...

Probably from the C++ header file that defines it.

In the C++ header files where they are defined, or just create a C++ project, type the names in and hover the mouse, you'll generally see the value in the status bar.

Oh... Thanks... I think I'll try that...

is consuming in c#?
I.E. is there a general purpose method of determining how much memory a HashTable or string or any other object is using?

Have a look at the SizeOf method of the System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal class.

b { font-weight: normal; }

The marshaling call will work, you can also load up winDbg and use SOS to look at all the .net memory allocations.
|
|

|

It's only for structs, not for classes.
The only way of getting a rough estimate of the size of a managed object is by serializing it. The serialized size is actually bigger than the size in memory, but it can help you to spot who's taking memory.

 Hi,
I have to write a program to capture a usb barcode scanner,...
as you all know, when you scan a barcode, it acts like a keyboard & just sends the barcode text to the active window. all i have to do is just to write a program which runs in the background & captures those scanned barcodes to a text file and it would not sent it to the active window,.. it's like windows message intercepting for your own purpose.
i really apprecite if you can give me any sample code, or any clue.
Thanks in advance

You say it's acting like a keyboard, are you implying that it's using a generic Micorosoft Human Interface Driver?
/\ |_ E X E GG
|
|
|
|
|
yes i think so,
i didn't install any driver, by theway i have windows xp pro sp2.
it should be same as the usb keyboards.
|
|
|
|
|
Well then you can use some already documented APIs to interface with your device. I will post more details the open of business Monday.

Search the web (or codeproject) for keyboard hook, and you'll find what you look for. But probably it'll be hard to find something in C#, it's something that easier done in C++.

i had already programmed to capture frames at some specific intervals from the default webcam installed on the pc and i succeeded to transfer it but i need to know how to encode it before transmission and then on the other side to decode it not to halt the network and make the transmission able to be transmitted efficiently with network leaks or memory leaks take place.

Is there any built in function to reverse a string in c# if yes what is that?
|
|
|
|

What DR. GUI .NET (link[^])says about StrReverse equivalent: "None—use StringBuilder and loop to reverse by swapping characters in place."
Dunno about .NET 2.0 however.
Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)
